Reader’s Dilemma: My Boyfriend Left His Ex a Flirty Facebook Comment!

This morning, we’re helping out a reader who is a little miffed about a comment that recently popped up on Facebook. She’s not having a little issue with Facebook, her boyfriend and his ex.

Writes our frustrated reader:

There’s this girl I kind of don’t like. She’s friends with my boyfriend’s family and he went on a couple of dates with her years before we met. The other day, she posted a picture on Facebook from some photoshoot. Then my boyfriend commented on saying, “Wow, pretty! What’s the special occasion?” I’m not sure how to take this one!

Before jumping to any conclusions based on this incident, consider your boyfriend’s normal behavior. Does he have a flirty personality and this Facebook comment was one more thing to upset you? Or is he normally a polite guy who gives compliments to friends? Or maybe this was totally out of character for him and that’s why you’re so caught off guard?

If your boyfriend isn’t usually flirty with this girl, I wouldn’t sweat it too much. Since she’s friends with the family and they parted ways some time ago, there’s a chance that these two are actually just friends. Perhaps he was just being polite.

However, if you suspect something is up (maybe he leaves similar comments a lot) or if it makes you feel uncomfortable, talk to your boyfriend about it. Tell him you feel that these comments are inappropriate or that they’re a little too friendly.

What do you ladies think our reader should do? Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? Do you think her boyfriend was being inappropriate? Or just friendly?
